For anyone who loves the spirit of the Mini — both classic and modern — this camping weekend is an absolute gem. It’s been running for 25 years now, and for good reason: the format works beautifully and never fails to deliver a brilliant experience…
We love bringing our Classic out for the Dales run. Driving at its purest enjoyment.
